No, I am not confident on anything these days. In fact, perhaps SCOTUS won't even hear the case, because they seem to shy away from things involving firearms these days. However, IF they decided to hear it, their wish to not touch firearms law these days might push them to see this as merely a business case. Again, I stated that I could be completely wrong.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 5:50 pmThe ACA case wasn’t a firearms case either.

They won, because the court accepted the statist notion that the Constitution can be perverted to enforce ideology. Again, are you confident that Remington would win?K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 3:17 pmI don't think this will be ruled on by SCOTUS as a 2A case.

Justices issued a 4-3 decision that reinstated a wrongful death lawsuit and overturned a lower court ruling that the lawsuit was prohibited by a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from liability in most cases when their products are used in crimes.
